Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

xrandr does not detect that it can do dual 1680x1050 for office tasks on
my ATI video card.

It normally sees VGA-1 as being limited to 1360x768.

I can get both screns to a higher resolution using this command :
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1680x1050
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1680x1050
xrandr --output VGA-1 --left-of VGA-0

Although Video does not work well on the right screen at this
resolution, normal office tasks ( spreadsheet, firefox, terminal,
solitaire etc... ) all work very well.

Therefore I believe that a bug exists in the detection of supported
resolutions on my video card.

This applies to Lucid Lynx. Any earlier Ubuntu can not handle the above
resolutions on my video cards. It would be nice if you fixed the
resolution detection.
